Abu Dhabi cleaned up at the 2016
World Spa Awards, walking away with six of the 24 possible titles — and it’s
easy to see why.
From traditional hammams beneath
marbled mosaic domes to 24-carat gold facials and diamond scrubs, the UAE
capital has a spa offering that razzles and dazzles. Just don’t expect it to
come cheap, as the majority of spas are housed in the city’s five-star hotels.
For travelers willing to splash out to unwind in the most sumptuous of
settings, here are 10 of Abu Dhabi’s finest.
Emirates Palace Spa
Winner of the World’s Best Hotel Spa
2016 award
The celeb-favorite,
ultra-decadent Emirates Palace hotel is all about Arabic glam.
Massive domes and gold leaf
decorate the interiors, while rooms come with marble baths and private butlers.
The spa has a similar vibe with
Moroccan-inspired spaces with draped curtains and opulent fabrics.
Decadent delight
Offering guests the chance to be
painted with gold and massaged with diamonds, the A Day of Gold package
features over-the-top ingredients.

includes a hammam using gold soap and a gold clay body mask, a 90-minute
massage with diamond-infused oil, lunch, a 24-carat gold facial and a Bastien
Gonzalez pedicure. Cost: $1,140.
